BM Desk:

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has joined forces with Manabik Shahajya Sangstha (MSS) to provide comprehensive eye care services to the workers and staff of garment factories. This is a great initiative that will help to improve the well-being of these essential workers.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in the presence of BGMEA President Faruque Hassan at BGMEA Complex on Sunday. This partnership seeks to bring essential eye care services directly to the garment factory workers and employees.

Under the MoU, MSS will organize temporary eye care camps within the premises of BGMEA and its member factories to provide a range of services such as eye examinations, vision testing, and the provision of eyewear. This is a great way to make sure that garment workers have access to the eye care they need, without having to take time off work or travel long distances.

MSS initiated its Eye Care Program to identify and treat preventable blindness and provide affordable, comprehensive eye care services to the underserved populations. This program has already helped many people, and it is great to see that it is now being expanded to include garment workers.

BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said, “BGMEA is committed to improving the well-being of garment workers. The association has taken various initiatives for ensuring welfare of garment workers and will continue its endeavors in the coming days.” This is a commendable commitment, and I hope that BGMEA will continue to work with MSS to provide essential services to garment workers.
